One of the bar's security guards claimed that he was struck by London while trying to eject him from the building, leading police to be called to the scene.

London suffered facial injuries in the fracas, but was allegedly belligerent while being examined by medical specialists at the scene.

He was then arrested and transferred to a law enforcement vehicle. A police report obtained by NBC News said that London defecated in the cruiser after telling officers that he'd noticed a bad odour in the car.

London later took to Twitter to insist that he was not at all at fault for the physical altercation with a bar patron.

"Guys, [these reports are] a total f**king lie. I got jumped by three 250 pound bouncers. They knocked me out and beat me for several minutes," he wrote.

He continued: "I would never say or do the crap they are reporting. Have faith in me. The truth will come out and you will see.

"Some guy thought I was hitting on his girl and had me jumped. My wife was in the next room, had no idea what even happened. I hate Arizona. Wait till you see the real pictures. I have a right orbital fracture and sinus fracture. The truth will win."

London achieved acclaim with roles in the films The Man in the Moon and Dazed and Confused. He has more recently appeared in guest parts on television series such as 7th Heaven, Criminal Minds and NCIS.
